Worth noting: ABC World News Tonight offered a full report on the J6 anniversary, including one rioter’s tearful apology to police, a statement from Pence and a note that the WH website today repeated “the lie” that the election was stolen. NBC Nightly News didn’t cover the anniversary at all

Read the whole thread. Gregg is right. It’s NOT a question of “experts disagree.” I’ve been working in medicine, medical journalism or global health for 32 years & know a LOT of health professionals—I do not know a *single one* who supports RFK Jr’s dangerous dismantling of the US vaccine system.

Why is everyone yelling “release the epstein files” when we should already be yelling “impeach and remove!”? Yelling about the Epstein files is an extra step and it can happen after he’s out of office.

I found this today: Retired? Interested in living in #Portugal & U can pass [comparatively] small financial limits, U can get a residential visa good for a number of years.

#kingcakeseason and #mardigras are coming. #myphoto, probably from 2019. I believe I took this on Orleans Ave in Mid-City.

Cannot vouch for the source but I like the sentiment.

I might have to [mostly] give up alcohol, but I am NEVER giving up my coffee. My heart will just have to deal with it. So will all the medical personnel. It's my body and that's that. I am not kidding when I say I'll take less time on earth rather than give it up. #coffeecoffeecoffee #coffeeIloveU

As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.

Girl I am not depressed because of racist, I am just watching my back. The polite racist is the super snake. Thats how we got here.

NEW: People are using Elon Musk's chatbot, Grok, to alter images to depict real women being sexually abused, humiliated, hurt, and even killed. futurism.com/future-socie...

Had #measles when I was 6. Missed three weeks of school, had high fevers, hallucinations, and general misery. Why any parent would think it better for their kids to suffer and possibly die rather than get #vaxxed makes me puke. My parents sucked but at least they were good at necessary healthcare.

Having public officials swear an oath o a religious text is a dumb vestige of a different era. That said, if you’re going to to do it, demanding that Mamdani swear on a Bible is like demanding that I swear on a stack of back issues of City Journal.

If you're inclined to take stock of what you did and didn't accomplish in 2025, please remember that it was a *tremendously* distressing time to be a person with a functioning moral compass in the U.S. We live in extraordinarily dark -- and taxing -- times. Go easy on yourself.

#DavidBowie fans: Documentary re a group of teens, the #SigmaKids, who hung around Sigma Studios in #Philadelphia when Bowie was recording "Young Americans," 1974. Posting this partially because my friend Patti Brett was one of the kids. Doobies Fitler Sq = her bar! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdGV...

In 2025, #NormaSwenson, of #OurBodiesOurselves died. This detailed obit provides, for all of you younger than me, what it was like to have a female body in the 50s/60s/70s. I did not know the women of the #BostonWomensHealthCollective but my first husband did. 🧵

Happy new year to all my friends on the 'Sky! I'm not big on resolutions, but I do need to make some changes: no alcohol most days (bah!) a few easy diet tweaks, and as much vigorous cardio as my knees can bear. If I could still run, that would be easy Guess my raging days are gone, fuckitall sigh

I don't have a favorite but obsessively watching the most avant-garde videos on MTV still didn't prepare me for this. Crazy that something this far out was ubiquitous for months youtu.be/xwtdhWltSIg?...

Whatever your new year's superstitions are, please make sure you do them this year. Greens too, Southerners 👇

Pretty sure this is the Murphys, despite what it says on the page. My favorite version of the song. #DropkickMurphys #AuldLangSyne #IrishPunk www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeD3...

"I broke free on a Saturday morning I put the pedal to the floor Headed north on Mills Avenue And listened to the engine roar My broken house behind me and good things ahead... I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me." www.youtube.com/watch?v=i546...

Not bad #giftarticle #Edsall "[tho ranked at/near the bottom of POTUS greatness] this wantonly destructive man has mimicked strategies of such greats as Lincoln and FDR. In doing so, he will, unlike them, leave the nation worse off than it was when he took office." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/o...

One last post for the night. Twelve years ago today, we sold the house in NJ and began living in an apartment while deciding where TF to move that we could afford. #bittersweet but we had a hell of a celebration at a fancy place nearby. The end of many years of stress. We were happy with each other

I'm finishing 2025 with a #heartmonitor taped to my upper chest. Probably nothing serious is wrong, but nothing screams, "look out, the Grim Reaper is right behind you!" like staring at two weeks of wearing a heart monitor. Have a Happy New Year, all. And, seriously, I'm okay for now.

Happy New Year to the person who has his talons dug into my heart. I mean that in the best way, no irony. #love isn't always pretty but it is always real. #myphoto from about 15 years ago. That smirk still slays me.

A real photo with a real owl. "A family in Arlington, Virginia, found a feathered finial atop their Christmas tree. The barred owl that had flown down the chimney into unfamiliar surroundings remained perched on the tree until rescuers arrived." (Both photos courtesy of AWAL) #owls

How I'm ending the year: #Fuck2025 and male imperialist rapist torturers--rot in hell. (Jeffrey E, you're there and I'm glad) R U a male follower? This isn't directed at U unless you are on the other side. So pls don't get defensive. writingsofafuriouswoman.wordpress.com/2017/12/09/b...

Street artists in Philadelphia installed guerrilla transit signs to display bus arrival times, aiming to make SEPTA more accessible and push for faster implementation of digital screens. The DIY project has been dubbed the work of “Bus Stop Banksy.”

Somewhat related (perhaps) to the 70s programs I've been posting about. #AP apnews.com/article/anal...?

#TValert There's an excellent show on #Netflix called "Breakdown: 1975" all about the #movies that came out that year, and how movies changed after 1975. Studios began making blockbusters as opposed to the new cinema's deeper themes and stories. 90 minutes. www.imdb.com/title/tt3898...

#TValert There's a good, involving series on #AppleTV called "1971: The Year that Music Changed Everything." 8 episodes. Music and artists and lots of history and culture. If this is your thanggg, both D and I highly recommend it 2 U. Great end of year watch. www.imdb.com/title/tt1454...

We're repeating mistakes that we made quite recently. Don't know when H5Nx is coming, but it will. There's at least a phase 1 shelf stable vaccine against the 🐦 flu. See first comment www.sciencealert.com/the-world-is...

Replacing the US child vaccine schedule with Denmark’s schedule is negligence, writes @drdemetre.bsky.social “When a jet engine fails at 30,000 feet, it’s not the manual writer who pays the price. It’s the passengers — in this case, America’s children.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

The post office changed their postmark rules, potentially disqualifying votes in upcoming elections. Postmarks indicate when the USPS processed mail now, not when you dropped it off. To ensure a same-day postmark, you must visit a post office and ask for a manual stamp.

#myphoto of Miss Kitty being exceedingly cute. From before 2019 #cats

This might be Longwood Gardens, right outside #Philly, from before 2014. I'm not sure. It might be #myphoto? Again, not sure. But it's lovely regardless and a lot nicer than shooting off firecrackers for the end of the year.

This feels very right now among humans in the US in 2025/soon to be 2026. It's certainly not limited to cats.

No punishment is too great for a man who would drug and drive his own 6–8-year-old daughter to “pedophile ring parties.” Sit with this: if this report is accurate, this child was horrifically abused. I wonder whether she’s been able to build any kind of life for herself. 🧵
